There was a time when Casual Workdays were the exception and not the rule. But now, at least in the Silicon Valley part of the Bay Area, the opposite is true. So, how about flipping things around and having a Dress Up Day every now and again, i.e., once a business quarter or academic semester or whatever you feel appropriate? Give everyone the opportunity (and option) to come in all spiffed up. To add to the fun, the Arts & Crafts people in the organization - and there always are some - could be asked to create paper corsages and boutonnieres to enhance the effect!
My guess is that this will get a positive reaction from the members of your organization and the people who come in to use your services.
Especially good for us--ahem!--"older" workers who have years of spiffy business wardrobe just sitting unworn in the closet.
